Vertebrate Animal Research

The University of Vermont (UVM) is committed to the humane
care and
use of animals in activities related to research, testing and teaching.
There are two separate organizational components at UVM designated to
ensure
appropriate implementation of all aspects of the animal care and use
program:

IACUC
- The Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee is UVM's central review body for matters
relating to
the care, use and treatment of animals in these areas and
is located in the Research Protections Office.

OACM
- The Office of Animal Care Management, with the University
Veterinarian as its director, is responsible for the
oversight of all animal care and use and for ensuring compliance with
federal, state and local regulations.
